Just as she was puzzled, there was a sound outside the door. As soon as her thoughts arrived, the door opened and a few eunuchs came in first, followed by an older eunuch. Judging by the clothes he wore, he should be one of the higher status eunuchs.

A pair of black eyes sized Cen Xue up from head to toe, causing Cen Xue to feel extremely nervous. Who exactly were they?

"I'll take her with me!" A few eunuchs by her side rushed towards her. One of the eunuchs had long prepared a handkerchief and covered her nose and mouth, and the handkerchief was already covered in sweat. Cen Xue felt her vision grow blurry as a wave of dizziness washed over her.

"Boom …" A muffled thunder in the night sky seemed to foretell an unusual night.

The unconscious Cen Xue seemed to be locked in a dark space. After hearing the loud sound, she seemed to have found a ray of light in the darkness and quickly ran towards the direction of the sound of thunder …

A miracle happened and a door appeared in front of her. She opened the door hopefully and a blinding light shone from the other side of the door, causing Cen Xue to wake up from her coma in an instant.

The shaking under her told her that she was being carried high on her shoulder. The dim and cold sight before her caused her chaotic mind to gradually return to reality.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Cen Xue repeatedly asked herself where she had seen this scene before. There was a long path in the darkness, and there was also that luminous pearl guiding the way … Heavens, she remembered. That's right, this was the underground palace she had experienced in her dreams!

"What are you guys doing? Put me down!" Cen Xue clearly remembered that there was a corpse in a dragon robe inside. The corpse was still alive. For a moment, the dream seemed to have taken place in front of her eyes, scaring her to the point where she struggled to get up.

"Oh, young lady, you've awoken. Stop shouting, we'll arrive in a few more steps. The king is waiting for you inside!" The old eunuch carried a torch as he led the way. A few young eunuchs carried Cen Xue and followed closely behind her. Hearing the sounds of shouting, they turned to look at her in surprise.

Bare-shouldered, Cen Xue was tightly wrapped up by a piece of red silk. She was unable to move at all and could only desperately twist around, trying to break free from the bindings.

"What king? There's clearly a living dead man inside, someone who can still move after death!" Cen Xue struggled as hard as she could. She didn't want to be sent to that corpse. She was a biologist, studying plants rather than corpses.

"Shut up, don't not know what's good for you. Being able to serve the king is a blessing that you've gained from generations of cultivation!" The old eunuch glared at her with a warning look before no longer paying attention to her struggles and ruckus.

Walking to the deepest part of the underground palace, they had already reached a stone door. The old eunuch put out the torch in his hand and respectfully reported to the person inside: "This old servant greets your highness, the person has arrived!"

Just as he finished speaking, the tightly shut stone door in front of him suddenly opened slowly. A gust of cold wind came from within, causing the old eunuch, who was standing in front of him, to shudder.

A few young eunuchs carried Cen Xue in. It was pitch-black without a trace of light. The eunuchs followed the familiar pace, walking fifteen steps straight from the stone door. They put Cen Xue down and followed the same path.

"Don't leave, don't leave me alone here. It's so dark here, I'm going out …" "I'm going out …" Cen Xue could no longer suppress the fear in her heart as shouts rang out within the stone room. After a few eunuchs walked out of the stone room, the stone door immediately closed slowly. Seeing the slowly closing stone door, her hope slowly dropped to the bottom.

"Woo woo …" Ghost Big Brother, I beg of you to let me go. Actually, I've also died once, so since we're all linked by fate, let's not hurt each other anymore, okay? " Cen Xue's tears fell as she pleaded in tears. She remembered the dried corpse opening its blood-red eyes and reaching out to grab her. It must have been trying to suck her blood dry. That must have been it.

The room was still silent, and only Cen Xue's voice could be heard. However, in this dark space, there was a pair of blood-red eyes that had been staring at her ever since she entered the stone room.

"Are you done yet? This is so noisy. This Zhao Changde is really getting worse and worse. Why did he find a crying woman to offer to Gu Ruoyun? This is such a disappointment, but … " A deep male voice rang out from the dark corner, scaring Cen Xue to the point where she immediately stopped crying. She widened her watery eyes, searching for the source of the voice in the darkness.
